Myrtle Grove Lecture on the Lawn

2:00 pm.  The Northampton Historic Preservation Society will have a “Lecture on the Lawn” at Myrtle Grove. This 18th century gambrel roof-style colonial house, owned by John and Crystal Marshall, has exquisite architectural features and a fascinating history!

Dr. Scott’s lecture will address the house and the property in relation to the families of Kendall, West, Nottingham, and Downing and will answer interesting historical ‘tidbits’ such as: Was Myrtle Grove part of a large Kendall family seaside plantation? Was it once a tavern?  Did Colonel William Kendall really have two sons with the same name?  Is it older than previously thought?

Myrtle Grove is located at 13033 Seaside Road, between Machipongo and Bird’s Nest. Wear comfortable clothing and bring a lawn chair. Admission is free, but a donation of $10 is gratefully accepted!

For any last-minute inclement weather cancellations or postponements, be sure to check the  Northampton Historic Preservation Society website.
